I'd take the 75 just to be safe.

"California State Route 60" or "US Highway 101" or "The Pacific Coast Highway", is just too long, especially when there are 50+ such roadways in SoCal.

I have no problem with just using the number. I just gave a friend directions, 35N to 635N to 71N. No, "the" needed. Don't take it as a personal shot, like I said, it is my irrational pet peeve.

I never said "The" when I lived in the KC area but I began saying it out here because it's the way everyone refers to the roads out here.

"The Californians" skits are pretty dead on accurate, except I don't know any people that talk like Keanu Reeves.

:D

Its a southern california thing, we do NOT do that in the north

in fact thats pretty much a dead giveaway youre not from the north up here (and sounds like nails on a chalk board)

here its take 12 to 101 and get off on 19th street

just an FYI

I'd take 80, but mostly because I've driven 70 so many times I nearly black out during the drive of boredom. Avoiding Denver if you're close to a rush hour might be worth considering.

If you want to get there faster, take 80.

If scenery is what you are after, take the mountain roads.

Rock Springs, WY is the best city in America. Take some time to see the sights there.

It's a device to let you know to pay attention to the next thing spoken. We get distracted easily out here.

Just fly instead.

Tiburon, in Marin county. Well, for another week anyways. It's like living in the town Amity from Jaws. Minus the shark.

I-70 is a far more scenic drive, and you most likely won't encounter snow at this time of year. Once you get east of Breckenridge it's not a relaxing drive due to some steep slopes and weird traffic, but it's gorgeous if you're not from around here.

I-80 is kind of interesting, but it's mostly looking at distant hills. I think there's one stretch where you go almost 100 miles without seeing any human habitat.

And if you make a stop in Denver I'll buy you a root beer or something.
